For one thing, revert is going to put the old file back and fail because
the new file is there. So that means adding code to move the new file, do
the revert, and put back the new file. The next issue is that we are not
really notified when a new file is created. At best we would have to have
a Resource change listener listening for new files and then running this
code which may have difficulties and performance implications.

If it is not hard, then submit a patch.

Another solution could be to use the DeferFileDelete property that I
previously described. Then we will not perform svn deletes when a file is
deleted and the problem will not occur.
